People have different reactions to wasp stings but all are painful.
Hope yours eases up quickly cherry. The usual treatment is vinegar but not sure how effective it is.
I never bother about wasps and even welcome them into the garden as they devour more aphids and caterpillars than any ladybird.
Not been stung lately though I consider it a small price to pay for the benefits they do.
My daughter goes off like a windmill on speed when a wasp comes near her and no amount of telling her to stay still has any effect..
She opened her mouth to say something the other day and a fly flew in. Lucky it wasn't a wasp I told her.
We have one wasp nest here that I know about but no way would I consider destroying it far less paying for it to be done.
They will all die off soon enough anyroad.

Thanks Sweetpea. I always think of you and our debates when it comes to wasps. The trouble is we have many nests as most of the farmers here do and we would never find them all.
I am going to WI tonight with my swollen face, but there are no wrinkles on that side. The swelling has filled the wrinkles up.

Steve it is a natural Botox. Also, as the swollen side of my face is pink as well as wrinkle free, I look healthy on that side. There is bruising at the top of the cheek though.
It just feels itchy today with hard lumps at the actual bite sites. Nasty things, wasps.

Could it be that he knows you are a good cook and a talented craftswoman. It could be that you are a good gardener. You look alright too. He is a lucky man but it is also the chemistry between you which must work.
